Curtains and Coronets

It's taken me some time to decide on curtains for Mrs Admiral's bedroom as I couldn't find a pelmet style I liked but that has been resolved now.

I also decided the wall her bed was on was looking a bit bare and I didn't really want to cover it with pictures as the wallpaper is busy enough so while creating pelmets for the windows, I fashioned a little coronet for above the bed and attached some lace drapes. I'd still like to add another two pictures to that wall but that will have to wait until this longed for visit to Miniatura at the weekend.

The canopy over the bed mirrors the pelmets at the windows and that's her room completed.

The final picture shows the whole width of that room including the fourth wall. The "wall" is short for this room as there's a decorative strip to be added to the underside at the top of the house but in order to ease access to the rooms at this level, it hasn't been added yet.

Hi IreneWhat a lovely addition. Very nicely made. I chuckled to myself when you explained about the missing strip - it's funny how we fixate with the tiny details that other's probably wouldn't notice!I hope you have a wonderful trip ti Birmingham and I'm already looking forward to seeing your purchases LOLx

Hi IreneWhat a beautiful bedroom. The fine detail you make with a lace piece over the bed is amazing, and your fine bedspread lying on the bed - it gives a nice whole.The window section with curtains and picket fence outside the windows is very very beautifully made.

This room, now, it's even more beautiful and welcoming. I love it :-)The choice of lace is very appropriate because it furnishes without burdening the environment.Having a room like this, for myself, is the dream of my life ;-)Mini hugs,Flora

Hi Irene! I LOVE the coronet over the bed!!! It adds just the Perfect amount of Elegance and Elevation to the bed! A full canopy would have hid too much! And the curtains are Just right too... although being on the opening wall it is hard to get a sense of how they look IN the room... if you know what I mean! Don't you wish you could climb in there and look OUT when the wall was closed??? I always wish I could.... (even in my Really tiny house, LOL!)

Hello Irene! Where I come from there is no 2 without 3, so I finished reading Hambleton Hall, even if you have to get four, many are your property! The Thenement I have left in my heart, is my favorite! But Hambleton is closer to what I want to do, only that my story has the date 1859. One day I hope to get even a little bit of your skill, is a hoot to follow you! Thanks for being there!
